Ma'ema'e Elementary

COVID Screening - 10/20

We are one of 165 schools across the state participating in Operation Expanded Testing, a federally funded, VOLUNTARY covid-screening program. We will be able to identify COVID-19 cases, which can help us stop an outbreak before it happens. This will help keep students in the classroom and be able to take part in the school activities they love. 

​

On Wednesday, October 20, we will be holding our first screening event during school hours. This test is intended for asymptomatic students. If your child is showing symptoms of covid-like illness, or have been identified as a close contact of a covid-positive individual, do not come to school. Please seek testing at an alternative location. 

​

Students will self-swab their nostrils under guidance of authorized school personnel and trained volunteers. Parents are not to be present. Samples will be sent to the mainland for testing and results will be available in 3-4 days by email or text.
